Game 29 – Sigh.

Can’t hate on the Jazz too much after this one. They still jacked up too many 3s and there was still too little effort going after boards by players not named Sap and Memo, but it’s not that they didn’t try; they just didn’t have it. Bright spots:

1) Sap’s DD streak lives on (it’s now at 15; he’s also leading the team in points, boards, and FG%)

2) DWill tried to dunk so I hereby pronounce him definitely back. It would have been nice if it had gone in, but whatever. According to the desnews, DWill “after the game iced not only his sprained left ankle, but also a knot in his right calf and a bruise near his right knee.”

Wait a minute…who is this person pointing out bright spots after a loss? Never mind.

LBJ showing Carlos (maybe literally) how you do it:

“You play out the season of course; I will consider [signing an extension],” James [said]. “The direction we are headed is everything I expected and more…I definitely want to keep an open mind, I will look at everything…I think me and my group have pretty much made good decisions so far and we’ll look at the options and go from there.”

Finally, unrelated to the Jazz but so mention-worthy:

On Corey Maggette: “They’ve started to call him ‘Bad Porn’ at various Warriors boards. Their justification? ‘Sure, there’s penetration and scoring, but are you really happy with what you’re seeing?'”
